Great little tool if it gets updated would be nice and a more clear way on usage and maybe more add more options to the tool like hud colors and maybe ability to move the mini map top left top right bottom left bottom right etc .. maybe other elements as well would be a great addition to Dying Light 1 enhanced Addition and the tool for the latest version of the game. goes out to the author .... Thanks
Works great in Epic version as of 2024, and you only need the manager too.
So long as you have a Dying Light folder already created in your documents folder, just use the manager from desktop, and et viola, new HUD. No other files need to be added or changed.
Has anyone found how to fix the hud manager completely damaging the hud? Cuz I've uninstalled, verified the files, and such to try and fix it, but nothing works... I don't wanna reset my pc just for a shitty mod breaking the hud
First download the HUD mod and the manager. Use the manager to do your settings however you want, I would suggest 90% opacity. Then, open up the actual mod folder. Go all the way through its folders until you find the hud.xui file.
Then, find your DyingLight game file. Go into DyingLight/DW. You'll find a Dat3.pak folder. Copy it, and paste it to your desktop, and rename it Dat3BACKUP.pak, just in case you mess up somehow.
Now, make a copy of that Dat3BACKUP and name it Dat3.pak. Use winrar to open it up. You'll find a placeholder.file inside of Dat3.pak. Leave it alone! Add the hud.xui file into Dat3.pak.
Now, you should have:
Dat3.pak(original file, in DyingLight/DW) Dat3BACKUP.pak(On your desktop, your backup in case you mess up) Dat3.pak(On your desktop, this modified one now contains the original placeholder.file AND the hud.xui)
Now place the modified Dat3.pak inside DyingLight/DW, say YES to replace. You're done! When you open up Dying Light, you should see a message about detecting that you installed a mod.
Jan 2019 I am using latest version with The Following. I am only using the HUD tool. It works easily. I only need to know when I need health and when to repair weapons. The opacity changes the messages and prompts only. I use none.
ianc4ever has provided excellent step by step instructions below. Send him kudos. StinVec has warned us this breaks arrow switching and may have other issues. Send him kudos. s1ntez has provided this excellent tool. Endorse.
(Added note: Using a Tobii eye tracker offers faded HUD elements until you look at them.)
NOTE that this mod is no longer needed - the game (with the Following expansion) has an Option in the Game Menu to set the HUD between Full / No Navigation / Off. It's great!
